2 months agoSeattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (foot) is expected to be ready for Opening Day on Thursday after fouling a ball off his right foot while hitting in the cages on Friday. X-rays and a CT scan on his bruised right foot came back negative for fractures. If Crawford's injury had been serious, the M's would have had to turn to Mason McCoy after Dylan Moore suffered an oblique strain a week ago. McCoy could make the team in Moore's place, as he's a plus defender at the 6 and can also play second and third base. The 28-year-old Crawford is more attractive for his glove than his bat, and he won't offer fantasy managers much power or speed in deeper leagues. His best assets offensively are his ability to make contact and get on base regularly.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
